You could have who ever is responsible for the shared calendar publish it, assuming the information can be open to the public.

There is a lot of "typically it means this" and that is somewhat useful. Switches are typically faster, have more ports, are implemented in custom hardware, etc. But typical does not a technology define. There do not appear to be any definitions that actually differentiate one from the other just this kind of "feeling" that people have.

Which is fine, it's a marketing term. Just important to know that an L2 switch is really a "multiport bridge" and an L3 switch is really a "multiport router" and anything beyond that is really just "generally acceptable generalities around marketing and intended use cases."

There VMs but no aside from the local account the install creates which was deleted and my domain account. It's work with all my other windows 10 Gold Masters.

Any alternative to Netwrix? Their pricing is a bit too high for us.

Do you need anything other than the free one?

It is just a notifier right? The Auditor is a paid application. Do they do the same thing?

Good point. I honestly dont' know as I have never used either. I am familiar with Netwrix for a couple of their other free tools.

I'd imagine the Notifier would have some kind of logs in it. I just saw the email this morning and thought of you. 🙂

awww how nice of you 🙂

I try. 🙂

And everyone should be on the domain... EVERYONE especially the chairman... 😛

I don't know about everyone.. There's some laptops we have for maintenance that aren't on the domain, blocked from the network and have local admin rights so they can work on random crap.

As a general rule, unless there is a specific reason for them not to be, they should... obviously there are exceptions, there are to anything...but for least confusion, lets leave it at that for now 😉

Almost any NAS can do iSCSI a SAN is simplier than a NAS..

Exactly, but a few scale outs don't because of the scale out aspect.

Wait when did they become $90? I paid $69.99

I'm quoting the price straight from their site, not Amazon... so it may still be a good deal on Amazon too.

I did however, install the 2.0 beta on an old Laptop this morning... Sadly, right now, it appears you have to have Windows installed in order to get the Beta to install to HD.

But my laptop booted it up just fine. It doesn't come with Google Play in the PC version, but I found an installer for it... going to try it tonight.

Yeah I've done it before. It just resorts your default policy. It doesn't affect your other gpos

We need some latency numbers from around the world. Anyone want to collect some for us?

Here is the first IP address. A long running ping (hundreds or thousands of pings) would be good, we need the final stats from that:

104.236.119.59 108.61.151.173 172.99.75.133

We have a good idea on bandwidth, IO, CPU and memory. Network latency is pretty huge.

Neater than Elastix for it? That's been around for a bit.

Do you prefer Elastix over FreePBX? If so, why?

Well FreePBX does not appear to be available on RP, right? So it is a moot point.

Nerd Vittles put their distro on RP long time ago and that uses the FreePBX GUI.

I assume lots of people have. But FreePBX themselves have not yet, that I've seen.

What do you actually need?

The point of the linked call button above is that it plays a prerecorded message.

What is your goal for said button?

You can do damned near anything you want with an API call back to Asterisk. So you can really get any type of thing you want that generates a call to a URL when pressed.

Like hakcing an Amazon Tide button

It only auto accepts the first event for that time slot (until the meeting is over) and then declines the rest.

I am currently working on the storage planning for Veeam and found this site http://rps.dewin.me/

exactly what I needed, thanks. Weird that a completed mailbox is in there... Oh well, I'll figure that out later.

I've had a low success rate with startech devices. They are cheap and when they work they work ok... but most of the time they don't. Even if one had been working fine come in the next day and it doesn't work at all.

Exactly my experience, but I will add that the more complicated the product is the lower it's chances of working properly. It's a sliding scale from "meh, yeah, ok" to "possessed by demons" to "complete and utter failure to chooch"

At a former job we bought a serial to USB from them for a PLC once... never again. It did funky things and inserted random characters into programs. We returned it for a replacement... the second one didn't work at all.

Oh sweet jesus those are the exception. NEVER buy one unless it's straight from these guys. Trust me, I spent years doing electronics engineering programming chips and bit banging

http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBTTLSerial.htm

Yea,.. there is a lot of fakers that just won't work on those FTI drivers... ugh.

The driver has a verification software in the download you can check the chip with though.. in Windows 7 the fake ones would still work I believe.

Until FTDI decide to block them again heheh

@LAH3385 Yeah, I am going to allow them very limited access to the domain. Probably won't give domain admin. Just allow him local admin under a secondary account to desktops/laptops. I am also going to have to figure out access to AD for things like creating users and password resets etc.

Sure, but it's not going to be cheap!

The first one I found is $700. But that's a super high end board with dual 10GigE built in and able to handle 128GB of RAM from 2014. If you are doing high end video processing, a few hundred extra for your Mobo is going to be expected anyway. This would not add that much onto the overall system cost. Often people are dropping $3K on these machines already.

LOL - like I said - NOT Cheap!

Then how much is a switch, assuming you need one? The chassis will be rather expensive as well for those drives.

You could just directly plug in without a switch if needed.

Considering you'll need a dongle for the 10GBe and the mac's don't use a proper dock.... I don't see the down side to that. If anything it's smarter, fewer devices to die in the chain.

Yeah this is the closest thing to a dock http://www.landingzone.net/products/macbook-docks/

Dude I had no idea those were a thing... You just earned me serious brownie points with my Mac loving boss.

Your boss can buy me one as a gift 🙂 I still don't have one.

All I need is an idea of what is happening. If I could show prints/copiers as two separate things that would be 100% everything I need. Is that possible as far as anyone knows?

Ah, sorry, I'm not sure. I know Print Audit can do this with the Copy Audit add-on, but I'm assuming you would like to keep this free, so that's probably not what you need.

I found a log for Total and it's also broken down daily and monthly as well. This is great. Thanks!

Prediction: 2017/18 will bring an Intel chip with 64+ lanes and this will not be an issue.

I think so too.

I think Thunderbolt will be the best physical interface rather than the current PCIE form factors too. Mainly it allows the flexiablity like SATA with greater throughput. It would allow you to use cables (internal or external) and could plug into a blackplane once the layout of the drives are standarized. And could even allow dasiy chaining.

eyeroll

Go design a kick ass widget and put a thunderbolt connector on it, then see what it costs to license.

Hopefuly Intel will ditch the licesning costs at some point.. No other interface is doing that. They are just killing it doing that.

No way, Intel doesn't work that way.

would that I had more than one upvote to give

Anyone else remember rambus memory? I still shudder at the thought.

OMG that stuff was ridiculous. I had one machine with that.

We use a product name PrintBoss. It allows you to print onto blank check stock.

Thanks!

That is going into my list of programs to take a look at.
